Chapter 50: In the Lake
Tonan's sigh came simply from the surprise of finding a clean water source, after all, without the Spring Spring, this group of warriors who had just achieved a miraculous victory would have died in the rainforest, and would surely die without dignity because they couldn't resist drinking unclean water.

Beneath the slabs carved with the gods, the spring gushes silently from the ground, through a buried canal, into a well-hidden cistern.
Tonan followed Azholm to the pool, bent down to open the lid, and saw a pool of clear water.
He smiled and turned around, the battle was over, and the warriors would be rewarded as they deserved.
......
The airship crossed the rainforest at such incredible speed that Magellan even suspected that the eagle-man's strong desire was pushing it.
In any case, it's never a bad thing to see the edge of the rainforest sooner than expected, and although the day hasn't come yet, the eagle man's determination seems to be making it a reality.
A cliff cuts through the rainforest, dividing the greenery, where the water that flows from west to east reverses, and the roar of the waterfall shakes the rainforest, accompanied by the eerie roar of unknown beasts.
So far, Magellan has watched the Hawkman overcome several nightly rainstorms, but he still hasn't changed his mind. The eagles began to think that Magellan was too stubborn, and his fears about the safety of the trip were completely unfounded.
Then an accident happened that made their differences disappear completely.
It all started when Tonnan entered the Aztecs with Azhom.
That glorious victory gave the warrior the confidence to convince the priests to support his war against the Maya and even the outsiders, and Azholm was an important witness.
The two traveled a long distance aboard the dinosaur and arrived at the Aztec border, exhausted.
The Mayan city-states were not usually well defined, and their lands were islands in the ocean, and where there were villages, the nearby rainforests were their territory. Unlike the Aztecs, they had clear borders on their lands and were guarded by warriors.
And the border that Tonnan and Azholm will cross is a cliff.
It was a very famous - notorious - cliff among the Mayans, a barrier that protected the Aztecs from the great power of nature, and the Mayan warriors relied on the Spring Fountain to launch several successful surprise attacks, only to be stopped by this cliff when they were only one step away from success.
As Azholm followed Tonnan through a hidden tunnel over the cliff to the bottom, mixed feelings echoed in his heart.
The darkness soon ended, and the Mayans followed Tonan out of the tunnel, greeted by the light peculiar to the rainforest.
The dinosaur let out an excited cry and quickened its pace, they were clearly not the same as when they were on the cliff, but Azholm didn't know why.
The trees in the rainforest quickly receded, the road in front of them weaved between the plants, and finally, the two reached the end.
All the plants that had blocked the view disappeared, and Azholm couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"Here ......"
"Welcome to Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztecs. ”
What appeared before the Mayans was a large lake, with turquoise water stretching on both sides, occupying the entire land, and the waves were constantly changing, reflecting the white sunlight.
At their feet, a bridge stretched out into the middle of the lake, connecting to the black silhouette on the horizon, a city of magnificence far greater than Azholm's wildest imagination. Towering in the middle of the city, the temple is surrounded by a variety of buildings, all of which are tall and majestic, surrounded by a divided water surface where you can see the waves reflecting the sun.
It was a city in a lake.
Dinosaurs are full of strides, they are like hunters who have finally returned home, unhurriedly put down their prey and prepare to skin and extract meat, but before taking out the knife, they must sit on the edge of the bed and drink slowly.
But Tonan wasn't prepared to give them time to rest, and he urged the dinosaur to cross the causeway and rush towards the largest building in the center of the city.
Azholm didn't feel the need for this, he was immersed in a new world he had never seen before, and Aztec life was often described as barbaric and chaotic in the Mayan city-states, but he never expected it to be so barbaric and chaotic.
The Aztecs lived with wild beasts, the most savage, the oldest and the most gigantic.
A group of small monsters up to the lap of an adult scurried nimbly at the feet of the dinosaur, and then followed the running child to get out of the way, and the huge hunchbeast lazily occupied the center of the road with a huge package on its back, and was at ease in the unwilling threatening cry of the dinosaur.
As the city approached and the crowd became denser, they showed more and more a kind of nonchalant energy and bloodthirsty desire.
Eventually, Tonnan and Azholm arrived at the temple, where there was no crowd, and there was silence around the tall building, except for a warrior waiting for him.
"The elders are already waiting. ”
Tonan nodded, and jumped off the dinosaur's back in silence, not saying a word.
Azholm quietly followed the warrior up the stairs towards the pyramid-shaped temple, when a voice suddenly rang out.
It was a majestic roar of a beast, very unpleasant, but loud and loud, and everywhere the Aztecs went, they changed from their laziness to a great enemy.
Tonnan stopped and looked up, frowning at the sky, and Azholm followed his gaze and looked up to see a black dot above the sun.
It was a cloudy day, and the sun had turned into a white disc under the thin white clouds, and the black dots on it were so clear that Azholm could even see a rough outline.
"The Aztecs will never allow anyone to touch the sun!"
Tonan roared and rushed up the steps, Azholm knew he was in a rage, but he didn't think the warrior's anger meant anything.
The Aztecs believed that the center and origin of this universe was the sun, a powerful celestial body that was also the living king of the gods and sustained the universe in which the Aztecs lived, and was seriously injured and crumbling.
The fall of the sun meant the end of the world, and the Aztecs would die out completely, so they would never allow anything that might affect the sun to happen, and even regularly sacrificed people to help the sun gain a stronger life force.
And now the dark shadows in the sky have undoubtedly offended the sun, and all the Aztecs are in a frenzied rage, ready to grant death to the offender.
